[Episode 30]

- My lady. - My lady.

Mr. Immortal.

Mr. Gu.

Mo Xiao,

I did not collude with the Demonic Sect.

Don't talk. Work your qi.

Hold your breath.

Lixue?

Is that the Senior?

Senior brother.

Mo Xiao.

Mo…

Luckily, everything went well.

Now we can go and find Mo Xiao and Murong Ce

to go back to the Shushan Sect together.

Ce sent me a message

that he and Mo Xiao went back first.

Did they?

Why do I feel these two

have been isolating me lately?

Thanks to Lixue helping Mo Xiao

escape from the demon spirits of Seven Caves and Nine Netherworlds.

Mo Xiao's spiritual power must have been depleted severely.

That's why they went back first.

That makes sense.

Let's hurry back too.

Did you know

that the Demonic Sect almost destroyed the sky lantern?

Luckily, that girl from the Tianxing Mansion

helped the Shushan Sect immortals

and repelled the Demonic Sect.

Yes, during the last exorcism,

she used her body to block the demonic fog.

In that case,

she truly isn't one of those demonic people.

You know what?

If you ask me,

it still depends on if the heads

of the Shushan Sect trust her.

She lost her father when she was young

and was raised and used

by the Demon Lord.

Now she has grown up

and come around.

It's understandable.

I suppose the heads of the Shushan Sect

will be sympathetic.

Yes.

They finally believe in Lixue.

She's come a long way,

fighting with her life.

[Laifu Inn]

What's wrong?

I feel like someone is following us.

Is there?

Forget it.

Let's go.

I just need to confirm once more

whether you have the Tianmo mark

to know if you are really my brother.

Slow down.

I've guarded the sky lantern all night,

and I'm exhausted.

But we must

hurry back quickly.

Here.

If you really can't walk,

I'll pull you along.

Let's go.

Who are you?

Watch where you're going.

I was indeed reckless.

Sir, are you…

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

How about you?

You look thin.

I didn't hurt you, did I?

I'm fine.

I apologize again.

Please forgive me.

It's good that you're okay.

Jing, let's go.

He doesn't have any demonic aura.

How could it be?

Could it be that he sealed his demonic aura within the Immortal Sect?

I heard that last night, the Seven Caves and Nine Netherworlds

nearly conquered Fengdu City.

Luckily, the Sect Leader had prepared in advance and repelled the demons.

Yes, fortunately, Mo Xiao anticipated it and made arrangements.

And we managed

to protect the citizens within Fengdu City.

Where is the Sect Leader Mo Xiao?

Last night, he fought with the Seven Caves and Nine Netherworlds

and exhausted a lot of spiritual power.

After Ce brought him back,

Xuan Zhen has gone to see him.

He was okay.

He is now resting in Tiance Yard.

That's good to hear.

I didn't hear it

from the Sect Leader.

We all thought you went to Fengdu City in person

to comfort the local citizens.

That was just one of the reasons.

Last night's lantern release

shouldn't be publicized.

This was also Mo Xiao's idea.

I didn't expect

that you two were so well-informed.

This matter has already spread in Fengdu City.

The citizens all witnessed it.

They say Feng Xingtian's daughter, Feng Lixue

appeared in time

and blocked the demon spirits,

which helped Mo Xiao

to repel the Seven Caves and Nine Netherworlds.

It was indeed Lixue.

And not just last night.

During the last exorcism,

Lixue blocked the rampaging demonic fog,

stopping it from entering Fengdu City

and harming the citizens.

You all misunderstood her.

That's enough, Jing.

Be polite.

But it is true that a disciple of the Immortal Sect

died on the altar.

Mo Xiao has investigated it.

Someone else secretly

incited Shadow Assassins to kill Immortal sect disciples.

Mo Xiao didn't want to alert the enemy,

so he didn't defend Lixue.

Girl.

What nonsense are you talking about?

What Shadow Assassins?

Why haven't I heard it from the Sect Leader?

The Sect Leader is just suspecting it now.

It is still under investigation.

If there is any progress,

we will inform you.

Bad news. Bad news.

Bad news.

Sir.

What's the matter?

Shaochu's body was found

in the backyard of Luntian Division.

What?

Master.

What happened?

Master.

This morning, I got up for the early lesson.

I found something unusual when walking past this flower bush.

Upon a closer look,

it turned out to be Shaochu's body.

Has the cause of death been determined?

It's still unclear.

But the wound on his neck

seems to be caused by demonic technique.

Demonic techniques?

Could it be

that the Demonic Sect has started to attack

the Shushan Sect disciples?

It seems

we must quickly find

the whereabouts of the third demonic stone.

Even inside the Shushan Sect, disciples are being demonized.

This is outrageous.

Seven Caves and Nine Netherworlds

were repelled last night,

but Chong Guang of the Demonic Sect

won't rest until he succeeds.

Unless the third demonic stone is found,

I fear he won't stop.

The Immortal Sect is always on guard,

yet it is hard to prevent the Demonic Sect from wreaking havoc in the world.

The Immortal Sect

is truly in a passive situation.

In that case,

we should cut off the Demonic Sect's ambition.

Qing Xu, are you saying

that we should take action to find the demonic stone?

Yes, let's go all out.

Instead of just guarding,

why don't we go find the third demonic stone

and then destroy it?

This way,

we can stop Chong Guang

from gathering all the demonic stones and restoring the Demonic Edict.

Now that things have come to this point,

taking a risk

could be a good plan.

However, even the Demonic Sect can't find the demonic stone,

how can we?

The Tianxing Formation.

The Tianxing Formation?

Feng Lixue.

Will it be

too risky?

But

Lixue has already returned to the right path.

The Tianxing Formation

requires the Tianxing Seal to activate it.

This way, we have to return the Tianxing Seal.

But doing so

means allowing her to reopen the Tianxing Sect.

Sir.

Do you think this plan is feasible?

I agree.

Master.

Elders,

in this crisis of the Immortal Sect,

the Shushan Sect should consider the bigger picture

and return the Tianxing Seal to Feng Lixue.

The situation leaves us no choice.

The Tianxing Seal

can be returned to Feng Lixue.

However,

the Tianxing Formation

must be activated at the Shushan Sect.

That's our request.

Okay.

If so, we shouldn't delay.

The Shushan Sect should immediately send someone to the Tianxing Mansion

and discuss this matter with Feng Lixue.

I will go.

We are acquainted with Feng Lixue.

Why don't we go?

[Tianxing Mansion]

The Shushan Sect has agreed to return the Tianxing Seal?

Yes, Mo Xiao and Elder Yuan both agreed.

However, the Shushan Sect has one more request.

I'm all ears.

We hope you can activate the Tianxing Formation

at the Shushan Sect

to find the third demonic stone.

The demonic stone?

That's right, find the demonic stone

before Chong Guang and destroy it,

completely crushing Chong Guang's ambition to restore the Demonic Edict.

Although the Tianxing Formation has the ability to find directions through geomancy science,

I'm not sure whether or not

it can find the demonic stone.

This is the best method we've got.

Just go ahead and do it.

No matter the outcome,

no one will blame you.

Okay, I'll go to the Shushan Sect

and activate the Tianxing Formation.

See you at the Shushan Sect

in two days.

What's on your mind?

I am thinking

didn't Mo Xiao previously ask Murong Ce

to investigate the zither player at Guiyin Shop?

But he found nothing.

Why don't we take this opportunity to investigate it as well?

Guiyin Shop?

But we need to report back to the Shushan Sect.

You are the Young Master of the Fengyu Division.

You can send a message ahead.

If we manage to find something,

we'll see what Murong Ce says then.

Xie Lingyun.

Why are you competing with my brother?

Could it be

that you are jealous that Mo Xiao

is close with him?

Just say whether you are going or not.

Fine.

Since we're already here,

let's go take a look.

This is clearly a hidden compartment.

But there's nothing here.

It seems

they've destroyed all the evidence.

We need to search carefully.

Who is it?

Who's there?

I didn't see clearly.

They ran away.

There's really someone here.

They haven't gone far.

Lingyun.

We should go back

and discuss this with Mo Xiao before making plans.

Okay.

He ran away today.

He was lucky.

Matters of the Shushan Sect are more important.

We should go back first.

Jing.

What are you looking for?

Nothing.

I wasn't looking for anything.

Are you looking for something?

I will help you.

I… I'll go back first.

Jing.

What's wrong? Why are you flustered?

Did Xie Lingyun bully you?

Ce.

I'm a bit scared.

Scared?

Of what? What's going on?

Just now, I…

What happened just now?

Nothing.

Ce.

What are you doing here?

I'm going to Father's to check something.

Okay, I'll go back first.

Jing.

Do you have something on your mind?

No.

Father.

Ce.

What's so special with today?

Usually, you and Jing are lazy

and unwilling to help Dad tidy up these secret symbols.

But today is different.

One by one, you've all come.

But you came just in time.

Go, bring them over

and help Dad organize them.

Yes.

Father.

I want to check something.

Is there any record about Shadow Assassins?

Shadow Assassins?

They are the most mysterious organization in Jianghu.

They must be trained from a young age.

They are cold-blooded and ruthless, killing without a trace.

When they grow up,

they will find their masters

and serve them for life.

Why did you ask this?

I want to investigate someone.

Who?

A Shadow Assassin?

But, I don't know

her real name now.

These Shadow Assassins

have never had any

real surname or name.

They only see

their pseudonyms and missions.

Who are you investigating?

Why investigate her?

In Fengdu City,

I saw a person,

very similar to a Shadow Assassin.

So I want to investigate it.

Are there Shadow Assassins in Fengdu City?

What have you found?

Not yet.

But I suspect the person behind her

seems to be looking for the Sura Demonic Stone as well.

I hope nothing

goes wrong tomorrow.

Alright.

Stop overthinking.

Help me tidy up, quickly.

Okay.

Lord.

You are in seclusion,

and I shouldn't disturb you.

But I just received a secret letter from the Shushan Sect.

Tomorrow, the Shushan Sect will return the Tianxing Seal to Feng Lixue.

Their request is for Feng Lixue

to activate the Tianxing Formation at the Shushan Sect.

Feng Lixue has already said yes.

Lord, if the whereabouts of the third sacred stone

are discovered by the Shushan Sect,

our plan will be completely ruined, Lord.

Lord.

Tomorrow, Feng Lixue

is going to activate the Tianxing Seal at the Shushan Sect.

Lord.

Today,

Miss Lixue

will activate the Tianxing Formation on the Sacrificial Platform.

All mountain gates of the Shushan Sect are closed.

The head of Fengyu Division, Murong

has shut down the wind chime communication,

blocking all communications between here and the outside world.

I have set up a restriction on the Sacrificial Platform

to protect Miss Lixue.

When it begins,

only the division heads, Young Masters

and the chief disciples can enter the formation.

The other disciples

will all stay outside the formation as protectors.

Mo Xiao,

today, I will retrieve the Tianxing Seal

and revive the Tianxing Sect to the righteous path.

As we both wished,

I can walk in the sunlight again.

The Tianxing Sect's Young Bishop Feng Lixue

sincerely seeks to abandon evil and return to righteousness.

The Shushan Sect appreciates her intention to do good,

and thus returns the sacred Tianxing Seal of the Tianxing Sect

intact to its rightful owner.

Henceforth,

the Tianxing Sect will turn towards righteousness and goodness,

benefiting all around.

What is going on?

Could it be

that the Sura Demonic Stone is actually in the Shushan Sect?

- Lixue. - Chong Guang.

Thank you.

You've worked hard.

The Sura Demonic Stone is actually inside the Tianxing Seal.

Protect the Shushan Sect disciples.

Lixue.

Why did you do this?

Why did you deceive me?

Feng Lixue, you witch!

I should have killed you long ago.

Po Yun.

Po Yun. Po Yun!

Po Yun.

My lady.

I'm sorry.

Hurry, go!

Po Yun.

Just go.

No.

Zisu.

Zisu!

Mo Xiao.

Zisu.

Zisu.

Sect Leader.

In the next life,

I

want to be your guardian again.

Zisu.

Zisu.

No.

Mo Xiao.

Has Mo Xiao's demonic nature resurfaced?

Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao has been demonized.

Mo Xiao.

Why did you collude with the Demonic Sect

and rob the three demonic stones?

I did not.

I did not.

Don't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with him.

No.

I am not a demon.

Come home.

Lixue.

Move aside.

Move aside.

Anyone who stands in my way

will be killed.

Where are you going?

Fengdu City.

Tianxing Sect.

Did you forget

that your Tianxing Formation activated the Sura Demonic Stone?

Even if you want to rebuild the Tianxing Sect,

it will never be accepted by the world.

That's impossible.

Don't you get it now?

There will be no more Tianxing Sect in this world.

Send you down the mountain to rebuild the Tianxing Sect

was merely to assist the Lord

in retrieving the Sura Demonic Stone.

- Lixue. - Chong Guang.

Thank you.

You've worked hard.

The Lord has ordered,

that from now on,

you may not leave Suyu Mountain.

The entire Immortal Sect hates you the most now.

Secondly, it is probably him, the Sect Leader.

And all of this

is your fault.

Shut up.

You just woke up,

and you're already throwing a tantrum.

Chong Guang.

What?

You don't even call me Master anymore.

Let me go.

No.

You're not going anywhere.

Just stay by my side.

The things you needed to do

are already done.

From now on,

all you need to do is stay obediently by my side

and enjoy the glory that belongs to you alone.

Why?

Why did you do this to me?

Don't think about anything.

Everything will be fine.

I

will make you better.

Lord.

She wants to kill you.

Why not let me send her to the Demonic Prison?

Leave us.

How could it be like this?

How did things turn out this way?

Young Masters,

the heads of various immortal sects have gathered at the Celestial Debate Hall.

Please head over there.

Madam.

How are the Sect Leader's injuries?

The worst thing

is not his injuries.

Thank you, Madam,

for checking on him at this time.

Zifeng,

go and get some

mind-clearing elixirs for him to take.

There are even

harder trials waiting for him.

Zisu, elixirs…

I, I'll go get them right away.

I will help you.

Mo Xiao.

Why did you collude with the Demonic Sect

and rob the three demonic stones?

Protect the Shushan Sect disciples.

Zisu.

Subdue demons.

Subdue demons.

Subdue demons.

Kill them.

Subdue demons.

Subdue Demons.

Subdue Demons.

The medicine is here.

Didn't I tell you to only bring the mind-clearing ones?

Why did you bring all of them?

These medicines are usually

managed by Zisu.

I don't know which one it is,

so I brought them all.

This one

is for calming the mind and heart.

This one is for nurturing the liver and protecting the heart.

This one…

Regarding Zisu's funeral,

the Baicao Division will handle it for her

following the sect rules.

No, Madam.

Zisu said before she passed away

that in her life,

the happiest

and most joyful time

she had was at the Xuanqing Yard,

when we grew up together.

I want

to bury her at the Xuanqing Yard.

It was her wish as well.

Please grant this wish.

Alright.

Since it was Zisu's wish,

let's fulfill it.

Thank you, Madam.

Master, Master.

There is chaos in the Celestial Debate Hall.

The Immortal Sect leaders are requesting Heads of the Four Divisions to come over.

Tell them

they can do whatever they want.

I am not interested

in their trivial matters.

They said Heads of the Four Divisions

must come over.

They said it was

for…

For what?

They want to hold the Shushan Sect Leader accountable.

The Three Great Immortal Sects

have always regarded the Shushan Sect as the leader

and have relied heavily on it

to lead the immortal sects

to fight against the Demon Lord Chong Guang, subdue demons, and protect righteousness.

But what has it come to?

Even the Sect Leader of the Shushan Sect has been demonized.

How can he lead the immortal sects?

That's right.

We had many doubts about Feng Lixue

activating the Tianxing Formation.

But ultimately, the Sect Leader approved it,

so we returned the Tianxing Seal to Feng Lixue.

But unexpectedly,

it activated the Sura Demonic Stone.

Furthermore, earlier in Fengdu City,

it was also the Sect Leader and Feng Lixue

who set up an altar to disperse demon spirits for the disciples of various immortal sects.

As a result,

many Immortal Sect disciples were killed.

With all these happening now,

it's inevitable that people have doubts.

Initially, letting Feng Lixue activate the Tianxing Formation

was the idea of the esteemed seniors.

That is why the Sect Leader agreed.

Why has this now become his fault?

On the day of the Zhongyuan Lantern Festival,

he had anticipated that the Demonic Sect would cause disturbances and destroy the altar.

He ordered me to go to the old Taoist in Mount Yi

to borrow the Spirit Protection Robe.

This time, initiating the Tianxing Formation,

the Sect Leader set up restrictions,

sealing off the Shushan Sect.

If he was really forced by the witch,

why did he take precautions everywhere,

fighting with Chong Guang alone?

In times of crisis, you sought help from the Shushan Sect.

Now, the Sect Leader was injured by the Demon Lord Chong Guang.

Instead of uniting the immortal sects to fight against the Demonic Sect,

you came to hold the Shushan Sect accountable.

Is this what the righteous path of the immortal sects should be?
